鈥淒oes background noise affect Communication Support Workers鈥� (CSWs鈥�) ability to process BSL?鈥�
This research explores how classroom background noise might impact CSWs鈥� ability to understand and process British Sign Language, with the broader goal of improving support for Deaf students in educational settings.
We are currently looking for any听current or former CSWs听to take part in this study, which involves:
- A short demographic questionnaire
- A noise check
- A hearing check
- A BSL to spoken English translation task (in both quiet and noisy conditions)
- An auditory memory task
Participants will be entered into a draw to win one of two 拢50 Amazon vouchers.
Participation is entirely voluntary, and all data will be kept confidential and anonymised in accordance with Lancaster University鈥檚 data protection policies.
If there is anyone known that you believe may be interested in participating or learning more, I would be very grateful if you could share this opportunity. The flyer is attached above and the link to participate is:听
